Overview
Moving from noCRM.io to Salesforce is a structural migration from a Lead-centric single-object model to a multi-object architecture. noCRM.io organizes everything around Leads and Pipeline Steps; Salesforce separates unqualified prospects into Lead, qualified buyers into Contact, and companies into Account. We resolve that schema gap during scoping, map every noCRM Pipeline Step to a Salesforce Opportunity Stage, and preserve the complete activity timeline (comments, status transitions, step history) as Task and Event records linked to the correct parent. Custom Actions and Predefined Fields require field-level mapping since noCRM stores them as account-specific configurations without a standard export schema. We do not migrate Workflows, Custom Actions, or Sequences; we deliver a written inventory of each for your Salesforce admin to rebuild in Flow.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a noCRM.io object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
noCRM.io
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead and Contact (split required)
1:manynoCRM Lead records require a split in Salesforce. Leads with a company name that implies an existing business relationship map to Salesforce Contact attached to a new or matched Account. Unqualified prospects with no established company context remain as Salesforce Lead. We apply the split rule at migration time using noCRM's status field (Won, Lost, To-Do, Standby) and the presence of a company name field. The original noCRM Lead status is preserved in a custom field nocrm_original_status__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity.
noCRM.io
Pipeline Step
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
lossyEach noCRM Pipeline Step becomes a Salesforce Opportunity StageName value. We map the step order, probability, and status type (Open, Won, Lost) from noCRM to the corresponding Salesforce Stage properties. If the source account uses multiple Pipelines (Expert or Dream), each Pipeline becomes a Salesforce Record Type with its own Sales Process that whitelists only its relevant stage values.
noCRM.io
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Record Type + Sales Process
lossynoCRM Pipelines map to Salesforce Record Types on Opportunity. Starter accounts limited to one Pipeline map to a single Opportunity Record Type. Expert and Dream accounts with multiple Pipelines map to multiple Record Types, each with a corresponding Sales Process that scopes stage values per pipeline.
noCRM.io
Company Name (Lead field)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:manynoCRM does not have a separate Account object. The company name stored on each Lead becomes a Salesforce Account during migration. We create an Account record for each distinct company name in the Lead export, then link the converted Contact (from the Lead split) to that Account via AccountId. Duplicate company names are deduplicated at Account creation so one Account parent has multiple Contact children where appropriate.
noCRM.io
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist or Custom Text Field
lossynoCRM tags are freeform labels applied to Leads. We preserve all tags and map them to a Salesforce multi-select picklist field on Lead and Contact. If the number of unique tags exceeds the Salesforce multi-select picklist limit of 500 values, we map them to a custom text field with semicolon-delimited values. Tag strategy is confirmed with the customer during scoping.
noCRM.io
Prospecting List
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign + Campaign Member
1:1noCRM Prospecting Lists group Leads for outbound campaigns and reporting. We create a Salesforce Campaign per Prospecting List, add all Lead and Contact records from that list as Campaign Members, and preserve the list creation date and owner. Prospecting List statistics (lead count, response rate if available) are stored as Campaign custom fields.
noCRM.io
Comment / Activity Log
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Event
1:1noCRM stores a chronological activity log per Lead capturing comments, status changes, step transitions, and manual entries. We migrate each activity log entry as a Salesforce Task record linked to the parent Lead or Contact. The original timestamp, activity type (comment, status change, step transition), and author are preserved. Large comment histories are chunked and loaded via Bulk API to avoid governor limits.
noCRM.io
User / Team Member
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1noCRM Users assigned to Leads map to Salesforce User records by email match. Role and permission structures do not transfer directly and must be reconfigured in Salesforce Profile and Permission Set assignments post-migration. Inactive noCRM users are mapped to inactive Salesforce users so historical assignment is preserved without creating active license consumption.
noCRM.io
Predefined Field
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field
1:1noCRM Predefined Fields are custom lead fields configured under Admin > Sales process > Predefined Fields. These vary per account and may include text, number, date, checkbox, or dropdown types. We extract the field definitions from noCRM's admin export, create equivalent Salesforce custom fields (with __c API suffix) of matching types, and map the field values during Lead import. Field-level security is set to editable for the migration user during import and adjusted post-migration.
noCRM.io
Custom Action
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field + Visualforce/Aura/LWC (documentation only)
1:1noCRM Custom Actions are menu items on lead cards that trigger account-specific workflows (e.g., adding won leads to an invoicing system). These have no standard schema and do not export cleanly. We document each Custom Action's name, trigger context, and destination URL or API call as part of the migration scope. The customer's admin or a Salesforce developer rebuilds equivalent functionality as a Salesforce custom button, Quick Action, or Flow.
noCRM.io
Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument + ContentDocumentLink
1:1Files attached to noCRM Leads export as binary blobs alongside the lead record. We preserve the original file name and attachment reference, upload each file as a Salesforce ContentDocument, and link it via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Lead or Contact record. File metadata (upload date, uploader) migrates as ContentVersion fields.
noCRM.io
Statistics & Performance Data
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Report Types + Report Fields
1:1noCRM Statistics exports cover company performance, team activity, forecasts, and lead performance per Prospecting List. These aggregate metrics do not have a direct Salesforce equivalent. We export the statistics as structured JSON, store them as Salesforce Report custom fields or custom report types, and deliver the structure as a read-only reporting layer that the customer's admin can include in dashboards. Individual metric rebuild is out of scope; the raw data is preserved for manual reconstruction.

Migration approach
Scoping and plan tier verification
We audit the source noCRM account across plan tier (Starter/Expert/Dream), Lead count, Pipeline count, Pipeline Step definitions, Predefined Field list, Prospecting List count, attachment volume, and activity log size. We verify the plan tier during scoping because Starter's 500-lead cap affects the export approach. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a field-level mapping document, and a Salesforce edition recommendation (Starter Suite for straightforward migrations, Professional for custom fields or multiple pipelines at scale).
Account creation and Lead-Contact split design
We design the Lead-to-Contact split rule and the Account creation strategy. Every distinct company name in the noCRM Lead export becomes a Salesforce Account. Leads are tagged for Contact conversion based on the split rule (company context, status, or manual criteria). We design the Salesforce Opportunity Record Types and Sales Processes to match the noCRM Pipeline and Step structure. Schema is deployed into a Salesforce Sandbox for validation before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Accounts in, Leads in, Contacts in, Pipeline Steps mapped, activity records in), spot-checks 20-40 random records against the noCRM source, and validates the Lead-Contact split is correctly applied. Any mapping corrections happen in Sandbox, not in production. The Sandbox migration also surfaces any Salesforce validation rules or required field constraints that will block the production import.
Owner and User reconciliation
We extract every distinct noCRM User referenced on Lead records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any noCRM User without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before production migration. Inactive noCRM users are mapped to inactive Salesforce users to preserve historical assignment without consuming an active license.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from distinct company names), Leads (with the split rule applied), Contacts (converted from Leads with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with RecordTypeId, StageName, and AccountId resolved from Pipeline Step mapping), Prospecting Lists (as Campaigns with Lead/Contact Members), activity history (Tasks and Events via Bulk API with WhoId and WhatId resolved), Attachments (as ContentDocument records), and Predefined Field values (mapped to Salesforce custom fields). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze noCRM writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the Custom Actions inventory, Predefined Fields mapping document, and Pipeline-to-Record-Type configuration summary to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild noCRM Custom Actions as Salesforce Flow or custom buttons inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
